Initially, the park had a vascular plant species list of 959 species, 56% of which were verified by herbarium specimens, 39% were documented by scientific studies, and the remaining 5% were unverified but were on the list based on species ranges. Our objectives for the vascular plant inventory were: 1) improve the quality of the species verification by increasing the number voucher specimens and 2) to verify the presence of sensitive plants that were listed as occurring within the park. Data mining was the first step of the project and involved in-person and on-line searches of 9 collections. Data mining located 1,099 specimens which increased the voucher- based verifications by 14%. Field inventories of undersurveyed areas and likely habitats of sensitive species were conducted from 2004 to 2007 in partnership with the University of Washington. These Botany Forays resulted in a final vascular plant species list of 973 species, verified at the 97% level: 74% by vouchers, 23% by scientific studies, and only 3% are unverified. vi Acknowledgments I would like to thank Laurie Kurth for planning and coordinating all field surveys. Data mining was conducted by Katherine Beirne, Ronald Holmes, Brenda Cunningham, Sharon Rodman, Josh Seerup, Catherine Bruno, Arnie Peterson, and Jason Lovelady. Dr. David Giblin supervised the Botany Forays, recruiting volunteers, identifying and preparing herbarium specimens, entering all data into databases, and developing the NPS Botany Foray website. Peter Del Zotto and Ben Legler assisted in leading many of the forays and foray participants included: Arnie Peterson, Jessica Waite, Judy Runge, Megan Jensen, Richard Ramsden, Vicki Weafer, Dan Paquette, Sharon Rodman, LaraMassey, Lindsey Kopeke, Lucia Harrison, Karen Larson, Monica Delmartinii, Sarah Gage, Cindy Gentry, Erin Younger, Navina Leibow, Deanna Goldy, and Don Knoke. Lise Grace, Ronald Holmes, and Bret Christoe entered the data into the NPSpecies database. Anne Braaten and Lise Grace developed the maps used in this report, Joe Oelfke assisted with compiling the tables, and Lise Grace and Ronald Holmes assisted with the formatting of this report. vii Introduction The National Park Service's primary mission is to conserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources and values of the national park system for the enjoyment of this and future generations. Currently, the Service is unable to attain its mission in many parks, owing to a serious lack of scientific information about the nature and condition of resources in those parks, especially biological resources. In 1992, the National Park Service's (NPS)

  • Laurentian Mixed Forest Province, Cliff/Talus System Summary
    CT Cliff and Talus System photo by M.D. Lee MN DNR Lake County, MN General Description Communities in the Cliff/Talus (CT) System are present on cliffs or talus slopes on steep- sided knobs, in river gorges, along lakeshores, and in other settings with sheer bedrock exposures. Often, cliffs and talus slopes are associated with one another because talus slopes are composed of rock fractured either from cliffs or from exposed bedrock on steep hillsides. The vegetation of CT communities is generally open. Lichens and moss- es are the dominant life forms, with vascular plants sparse or patchy because of scarcity of soil. In this classification, cliff communities are grouped by moisture and light regimes and by bedrock type, which are the major determinants of species composition. Cliff habitats range from warm and dry to cool and wet depending on cliff aspect, proximity to streams or lake shores, and presence of groundwater seepage on the cliff face. In the Laurentian Mixed Forest (LMF) Province, cliffs are formed most commonly of igneous bedrock, although cliffs on metamorphic rock are also common. Talus communities are classified according to amount of woody plant cover and moisture regime. In the LMF Province, CT communities are restricted mostly to the North Shore High- lands and Border Lakes subsections in NSU, where Precambrian bedrock is frequently at or just below the surface and topography is often rugged. Scattered cliffs are present in WSU and are likely in the Laurentian Uplands Subsection in NSU and the Littlefork- Vermilion Uplands Subsection in Northern Minnesota & Ontario Peatlands MOP, primar- ily along lakes and streams where water has exposed the underlying bedrock.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese
